Default Needs work

This is a great start but it still needs some work, Ive noticed that It gives most priority to the title as it should. However lets say im doing a search for

Motion Detector Alarms


It would bring up a product named, "Motion sickness bands" over a product called, "UMP Motion detectors - Black" Even though in the UMP motion detectors description the use of the word alarm is plastered in there too while the Motion sickness bands description does not contain the word alarm at all.

Basically it would be cool if the search engine could break up all the words in the search string (which your search engine solution currently does) and have it search the title and description for the best product that can match all the words in the string. If two products both have all the words then it would sort the product with the most keywords in the title over the other....

I am looking into coding this in, If you have any ideas let me know. I think this would be a great enhancement to this search engine...
